2023-11-25 | Miklos Kallo | It works well, although it never discovered my Kodi automatically. There are some UI weak points, when viewing a video, some controls are way to small, e.g. the volume. Also management of voice tracks and subtitles isn't too convenient. There's ample space to have controls that would work much better... | |
2023-09-17 | Alfred Schnittke | I lack function for scrolling video +10s -10s in main interface. There are one in active notification in android, but it does a bit far jumps (+-30s). There are speed controls in main interface, but on weak systems like my Raspberry Pi it is not very useful and hard to point particular moment. Anyway, thansk to developers! | |
2023-08-21 | UnknownUnitW10 UnknownUnitW10 | Okay so I was first annoyed I had to use another app to control Kodi through Google TV. However this remote is surprisingly well designed and feature packed. It syncs with media player and even gives synapse of watch your watching, while being able to use playlists. Kodi by far has been the best experience I've had as a media player. | |
2022-11-06 | Haven XBMC | With latest update the small buttons are even more difficult to hit. Play/Pause should be large above the arrow keys. The additional buttons make pausing playback more difficult. The extra little buttons (volume, shuffle, etc.) Should go back to the first pane. And where is the black theme. | |
2022-10-10 | Bea | Marvellous! Especially with the new redesign, the app is GREAT. You can browse your library directly on the phone and you have complete control over the playback - volume, language, subtitles... The new integration with system media controls is great too. Couldn't ask for anything better, Kore is just great. | |
2021-12-02 | Gabriel P. | Great app, however it did have, in my experience, a bit of a learning curve. Due to modern device widths, the remote control positioning nowadays feels a bit small, meaning I often found myself pressing the wrong buttons several times. Networking-wise, despite other reviews, I found no connection issues using the app, having Kodi installed on a desktop Debian-based Linux system. Commands felt really responsive and quick. Overall, great app, but needs minor design improvements to really stand out | |
2021-11-20 | dog god | Works perfectly. Dropping 1 star because of Uí, have P30 Pro but imagine it's the same for any larger phone where control buttons are at the bottom and therefore nowhere near where my thumb would be when holding the phone. Also my UI doesn't look like what is in the discription images? | |
2021-10-24 | Oscar Portillo | Good app. 2 suggestions: 1: Make the remote control buttons scalable so they show bigger on bigger screens, and move them up -- there's a ton of unused screen real estate there and it would work better for most users if the controls were centralized instead of being at the bottom. 2: Most of us have VPNs. So it would make sense to make it possible to use this app alongside VPNs. I suspect this is possible as is, but not easily. Thanks for your efforts/ consideration. | |
2021-01-17 | Dylan Coulbeck | I've been using this app for many years and just decided to leave a review now I've built many htpc's in my tone for both myself and others, this is the go to app to control kodi. I have a lot of offline content and in time have learned the full potential of it's features. A static IP is recommended for those who drop connection every month or so. | |
2020-12-11 | Steven Crawford | I haven't been using this app to it's full potential the past few weeks. I didn't realise I could see all of my movies in one place, set playlists, read the synopses of the movies, same goes for tv shows. I was using it purely as a remote. Is that because I set an SQL server recently? Amazing. |
